Feiteng officially announced,Feiteng Cloud S5000C-M processor exclusively won the bid for the centralized procurement of China Mobile's 5G extended pico base stations, with a scale of 8,000 units. This is also the first time that domestic CPUs have been used in 5G expansion base stations on a large scale, breaking the long-term foreign monopoly.The 5G expansion base station is a cost-effective 5G micro-power indoor remote coverage product for medium and low-value scenarios. It is often used for blind filling and deep coverage. It can accurately solve signal coverage problems in specific scenarios. It has the advantages of lower cost, flexible deployment, and convenient operation and maintenance.
Feiteng and China Mobile have overcome industry pain points such as complex computing interfaces, difficult protocol simulation, and complex hardware acceleration design through joint public relations and in-depth customization.
Feiteng officials said that the Tengyun S5000C-M has doubled single-core computing power and upgraded PCIe resources. Its performance indicators are better than those of foreign competitors, its power consumption is 40% lower than the x86 platform, and its supply chain is safe, stable, and autonomously controllable.
It supports flexible configurations such as 4T4R and 2T2R, supports virtual machine and container deployment, has an open architecture that adapts to 5G-A evolution, and is ready for 6G.
Feiteng Cloud S5000C was originally planned to use the FTC860 self-developed core with 7nm process and ARMv8.2+ instruction set architecture, with up to 80 cores, a maximum frequency of 2.8GHz, 1MB of L2 cache per core, 64MB of shared L3 cache, and support for eight-channel DDR5-4800 memory, 64-channel PCIe 5.0, and dual/four-channel parallelism.
However, due to process blockage, the core was changed to FTC862, with a maximum of 64 cores, a maximum frequency of 2.3GHz, a L2 cache of 512KB per core, a shared L3 cache of 32MB, a DDR5 memory frequency of 4400MHz, and only supports two channels. Only PCIe 5.0 channels have been increased to 96, and the overall performance loss is about 15%.
The specific details of Feiteng Cloud S5000C-M have not been disclosed. It seems to be a special version customized for mobile communications.
